ALBERT KATZKE, OF MILWAUKIE, OREGON.

NECKTIE-HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 19, 1919.

Application filed November 4, 1918. Serial No. 262.062.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT KA'rzKE, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of Milwaukie, county of Clackamas, and State of Oregon, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Necktie Holders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to neck tie holders, and has as its principal object to provide a device to which a neck tie can be tied and which can be attached to the collar and collar button without being untied, thus making it possible to tie a tie on the device and not remove it therefrom until it is desired to substitute another tie therefor, said device being provided with means for yieldingly holding the tied tie up snugly in the collar and so that it will not accidentally work down over the collar button.

I have illustrated one practical embodiment of my invention on the accompanying sheet of drawings which I will now describe.

Figure 1 is a front View of my device, a collar and tie being indicated in dotted lines;

Fig. 2 is a rear view of the device without the tie;

Fig. 3 is an edge View thereof, and

Fig. A is a cross sectional view thereof taken on line 4.4: of Fig. 2.

Referring now more in detail to the drawings, my invention as here embodied, comprises a body member 1, having the wing portions 2, 2, and also having the inturned side portions 3, 3, to form a guide way for a slide holding member 4. Said holdin member 4 is turnedover at its upper en and formed into a two pronged hook 5, adapted to hook over the collar button B. Said holding member 4: is also provided with a longitudinal slot 6, and with a struck in finger 7. The lower end of the body 1 is turned inwardl and downwardly to form a cooperating nger 8. A rubber band 9, or other elastic member, is connected to the fingers 7 and 8, on the back side of the device and normally moves the holding member downwardly relative to the body member 1. This action tends to force the body member 1 up under the collar C, and the holding member down on the collar button B, thus preventing the tie and the tie holder from accidentally working down from under the collar. In other words, the tied tie is held yieldingly up in place under the collar. In order to remove the I same, it is only necessary to press upwardly on the lower end of the holding member 6, which lifts the hook 5 0d the collar button and permits the easy removal of the tie from under the collar. The device as here shown is adapted for the four-in-hand tie, and the lower parts of the body member 1 and the holding member 6 can be inserted into the rear of the tie if desired.

I am aware that changes in the details of my invention as here shown can be made without departing from the spirit thereof, and I do not, therefore, limit my invention except as I may be limited by the hereto appended claims.

I claim:

1. A neck tie holder of the character referred to comprising a body having wing portions at its upper end and having its lower end bent rearwardly, a cooperating member slotted to receive the bent lower end of said body, means holding said body and said cooperating member in sliding engagement with each other, said cooperating member being adapted at its upper end to hook over a collar button, and means normally and yieldingly moving said body and said cooperating member in opposite directions longitudinally of each other, substantially as described.

2. A neck tie holder of the character referred to comprising a body member of substantially Y-shape having the lower end of its stem portion bent rearwardly and having integral guide portions at opposite sides of said stem portion, a cooperating member slidably mounted in said guide portions and being slotted to receive the bent lower end of said stem portion, and means yieldingly moving said body member and said cooperating member in opposite directions relative to each other, substantially as described.

Signed at Milwaukie, Clackamas county, Oregon, this 11th day of September, 1918.

ALBERT KATZKE.

In presence of- JOHN W. BATES, JOHN 0. H012.
